Hi Malcom,<br>
<br>
That is on purpose - being behind a NAT network means you want to
hide any subnet connect to that network from the outside world.<br>
Any outgoing connection will look like it came from the NAT Router
"public" IP.<br>
If you want to allow specific connections to be allowed in, you need
to configure port forward - so far, I don't think I tell you
anything new.<br>
<br>
But if you need the "outside" world to know about "inside" networks,
then NAT is not the right choice. You need to switch to a non-NAT
solution like Bridged mode (or Host-Only with routing enabled on the
host) and the "outside" world needs to know about those "inside"
network with two possibilities:<br>
- Static routes on all routers that need to deal with those subnets<br>
- Internal routing protocol like RIP, EIGRP or OSPF that will
auto-detect routes and populate routing tables of routers.<br>

Dear Development Group<br>
<br>
I am trying to demonstrate routing in a virtualised network
created using VirtualBox with a FreeBSD server acting as router
between 2 virtual networks. One network is set as NAT Network to
allow access to outside world. However, although packets can be
directed from the router to the NAT router for outward delivery,
the NAT router does not know how to deliver the incoming packets
for the "hidden" subnet.<br>
<br>
I wonder if anyone has modified the NAT network to allow simple
static routes or default gateway to support this cnfiguration.<br>
<br>
I do not know the interest for this functionality and whether the
work is justified for the use that would be made.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
Malcolm<br>
